Happy New Year all,
The other day while driving my baby (‘60 roadster), I noticed “squeal” that sounded like it was coming from the transmission, but only in 4th gear under load. I subconsciously think I vaguely remember that sound at some point previously, but I can’t be sure. Anyway, not sure if I should be concerned or not. Any ideas? Tia.

Re: Transmission noise
First thing to do is check the transmission oil level. Work from there.

Re: Transmission noise
Oil on clutch disc causing slippage? Would be most noticeable in 4th gear.

Re: Transmission noise
Bill,
Is your front mount the single version?
If so in 4th gear the shifter may be adjusted on the snug side and under load the movement of the nose cone up/down
is causing the shift fork to pull the slider and the synchros are complaining.
Do check the oil level now.

Re: Transmission noise
I would think the throw bearing is the cause.

Re: Transmission noise
I have a 1960 Roadster with a 3/60 "birthday" according to my COA and it is a dual mount transmission if that is of any help. Good luck!Norm Miller wrote:Bill,

Re: Transmission noise
Jon, I don’t know the dob, but mine is a single mount. Thanks though!
